Jealousy.

It pumps in our veins. It turns our minds to radical conclusions. It infuriates our eyes. It wrinkles our tainted skin.

It is not rational.

Jealousy is not based on rational thinking. We all have the jealousy bug and it can pop up to bite us at any time. It will burrow in us, until the ideal moment, to make us miserable. The problem is, like any strong emotion, we can let jealousy do nasty things to use and let it run rampant through our minds. We throw rational out the window and decide to let thoughts of master planned lies take over our minds and often consume our bodies.

Just a while ago, I let my body become enveloped in overly active tear-ducts, trembles, and moans of helplessness. Just by viewing pictures that really had no meaning, the bug bit me...in the ass. It wasn't logical, it wasn't based on reason, it was entirely myself being controlled by a toxic emotion.

So how do we not let jealousy turn us into suspicious idiots when it bites? We talk it out. Again, being honest about our feelings is the only way we keep ourselves from harvesting resentment in our souls only to be watered every time the bug comes back... and it will. No matter how utterly lame we feel, jealousy should be discussesd, not held inside.

Instead of fb stalking our jealous emotions relentlessly- looking for more proof to make us miserable- just talk it out. It worked for me.
